Abusive Husband [On Hold]

14.

Y/n POV :-

"You never told me that you were married" I questioned sitting opposite to Taehyung on the couch.

He gave a sad smile and replied, "I'm not married."

"What do you mean? Then whose is this child?" you questioned again.

"It's mine but I'm not married" he replied.

"Okay enough. Can you explain clearly" you asked a bit irritated now.

"Umm... actually I had a girlfriend in college. We were the power couple of our batch. We were so happy and everything was going just fine until one day things became intimate and we couldn't resist each other. You know the game of hormones. And just after finishing the 1st year she dropped the bomb that she was pregnant." he stopped explaining and looked at you. You nodded indicating him to continue.

"We were just 19 then and moreover we weren't even stable then. So she wanted an abortion but I insisted on keeping the baby. You may find me ridiculous but just because of our mistake I can't just take an innocent life. Afterall it wasn't her fault. " he said and looked at the small girl sitting across the floor, completely engrossed in her stuffed toys.

"But she said that she didn't want a child at such a young age and that it would ruin her entire career. And after numerous fights we agreed that she would just give birth and leave the baby to me while she continue with her life. I used to bring her fruits and healthy foods so that she would not neglect the baby. Soon after giving birth she wrapped the baby in a small blanket placed it in a basket and left her in front of my door. After that she never showed up nor I tried to reach her. Since then I'm here alone." he completed explaining and sighed at the memory.

I was at a lost of words. I know he didn't need my sympathy. He has done an amazing job till now. But how can a mother leave their child just like that. I know they were young and had a bright future ahead and all but still. It's not like she was alone. Taehyung was with her to take care of everything. But look at him. He is alone but still managed to earn and give her everything she could ever wish for. He never let her feel the absence of a mother's love. And this can be seen at the child happy smile and bond with her father. I may not be a mother but I still know the feeling. How can someone abandon someone whom they have carried and nourished for 9 months. It basically becomes a part of their body. I just feel angry at that girl and nothing more. In this type of cases most boys refuse to take responsibility, while he. He stood beside her, supported her yet she couldn't choose wisely. She sure lost a gem.

I stood up and sat beside him while patting his shoulder.

"You did a great job raising her alone. I'm so proud of you. And about that girl she lost the most precious gem." I tried to console. His face crept into a small smile and nodded slightly.

"I'm not sure Y/n. I tried to give her all the love so that she doesn't miss her mom and feel sad. But you know there are times when she cries that her every friend have mom who go to pick them up at school, shower them with kisses in front of everyone, give them beautifully decorated lunch boxes. I also try to do everything but as you know a mother's void can never be filled." he spoke sadly.

"It's okay Tae. She is just so small to understand all those. She doesn't understand that her mother left her. It's common at her age. It's understandable. But I'm sure she loves you more than anyone else in the world. Let her grow up, she'll understand everything."

He just hummed.

"Btw what is her name?" I questioned looking at the child playing in front of me.

"Tae-ri. Kim Tae-ri" he replied.

"Awww... such a cute name" I squealed. 

"Mummaa" she yelled looking at me with big doe eyes while her hands clutched onto the big kookie plushie.

"Baby she is not your mom. Call her Y/n aunty" Tae replied before I could open my mouth. The smile on her face immediately replaced sadness as she looked at the ground.

"Let it be Tae" I assured looking at him. His eyes moved to me and they showed concern.

"No Y/n. It must be uncomfortab-" he started.

"It's okay Tae. I always yearned to hear that you know" I smiled and move my eyes to the small boba ball sitting there with a pout.

"You can call me mummaa Tae-ri" I smiled at her.

Her face immediately lit up and she jumped happily coming towards me.

"Mummaa can you come play with me" she pleaded holding my hand in hers.

"Sure. Let's go" I took her hand in mine and stood up.

"What about me? You don't wanna play with me?" Tae asked pointing his finger at himself.

"No. I want to play with mummaa. You make us hot chocolate." Tae- ri replied.

"Woahh you already forgot me. I feel betrayed." he replied placing his hand on his heart.

I laughed looking at them while Tae-ri tiptoed and kissed her father's cheek.

"I love you dadda. Please make us hot chocolate. Your hot chocolate is the best" she said cutely showing a thumbs up.

"Okay okay enough buttering. I love you more and okay I'll bring your hot chocolate to your room." He replied peppering her with kisses making her giggle.

My eyes filled up with tears. I adored this cute father daughter duo. Would it have been the same if I had a child? Would Jimin treat her the same way Tae treats Tae-ri? Could it have defined my bond with him. Maybe it could have been a bridge, a foundation for our complicated relationship. But it was all useless now. If only I could become a mother. If only my child didn't die. If only Jimin loved me a little bit.

If... if only my life wasn't this twisted.
